    Well located and clean.

    One night stay, located close to Castle, Princes Street, old and new town. Friendly staff, clean rooms and relaxing bar. Swimming pool looked nice but we didn't try. Parking is trickier but you get a discount at Castle terrace. Excellent

    Old Town
    Few Edinburghers live in the Old Town, but its
    labyrinth of dank alleys and steep streets suggests
    this was not always the case. Today, it’s mostly
    visitors, tartan-flavoured souvenir shops, and pipers
